Cowles Mountain
Jul 24th, 2008 by Anna
Brian has plans to see “Dark Knight” tomorrow, so we had to move our family fun afternoon to Wednesday this week. Here’s my crew hiking up Cowles Mountain. Oscar really enjoyed the climb and when we decided to turn back halfway (that backpack is heavy) he cried and told us that he wanted to keep going. One of these days we’ll have to take him solo and see how high he can go.


I had to reply about The Dark Night. It opened on Jim’s birthday so of course we had to go-us and everybody else including a guy in full “Joker” costume. About 30 minutes before it ended, the power went out in the theater and never came back on. just a little bit of a buzz kill, to say the least. Happy birthday to Jim. We still don’t know how it ends-Brian, don’t tell us.
I don’t even want to know how that guy in the Joker outfit felt.
Ah, so it is Dark Night, not Dark Knight, huh? Shows what I know. Your post made me laugh though…major fun buster! Just think, if you guys had moved to SD instead of IL, Jim could’ve gone to the movie with Brian instead!
Cowles Mountain can be grueling. Good job Oscar. If you’re ever up for a slightly longer (six miles round trip), but slightly less vertical hike, and are in the Scripps Ranch/Poway area, there is a nice trail called Iron Mountain.
